'Julia' is not 'All About Eve'

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Feb. 24,2005 12 a.m.

In István Szabó's "Being Julia," Julia Lambert is England's favorite stage actress of the 1930s. She has style, she has grace, she's an outlandish diva closing in a bit reluctantly on middle age -- you know the drill. The plays she performs in are pretty bad, which is okay because everyone is consistently reassuring her that her adoring public comes not for the play, but her.

'Saw' a decent thriller

By Rhett Umphress · Thursday, Feb. 24,2005 12 a.m.

Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) wake up in a bathroom, each chained to one side of the room. In between them lies a dead body. An audiotape tells them that if Dr. Gordon does not kill Adam, Dr. Gordon's family will be killed. This is the method of a serial killer known as Jigsaw. He provides puzzles for his victims to figure out; the punishment for failure is death. As the story progresses, other Jigsaw cases are shown, demonstrating his various methods of torturing his victims.

ENERGY DRINKS: THE NEW COFFEE?

By Ryan Corazza · Thursday, Feb. 24,2005 12 a.m.

It's Friday morning and sophomore Chad Miller has just rolled out of bed for his 11:15 class at the business school. Sluggish and groggy-eyed, Miller hops into his car at Hoosier Courts and drives down 17th Street toward campus. He makes a pit stop at the gas station to fuel up. But it's not for his car; it's for himself.

One "sssssucky" sequel

By Matt Waters and Matthew Waters · Thursday, Feb. 24,2005 12 a.m.

"Son of the Mask" is just another poor idea from the Hollywood writers of today. Living up to the reputation that sequels rarely surpass their originals, "Son of the Mask" is definitely not "sssssmokin.'" With a new writer, director and cast, this movie very remotely resembles the original movie.

'Constantine' more like 'Crapstantine'

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Feb. 24,2005 12 a.m.

Many comic book geeks have cried foul through the production and subsequent release of "Constantine," an adaptation of the DC/Vertigo title "Hellblazer." I'm only mildly familiar with the book and therefore have no attachment to the source material. Though, after seeing the flick, it's easy to empathize with these folks' consternations.

Proud to be an American?

By Laura Kruty · Wednesday, Feb. 23,2005 2:02 a.m.

In 1969, a proposed fee increase of $135 sent IU students into action. Students arranged a two-day boycott of classes and burned an effigy of board of trustees member Frank McKinney in protest. To make their feelings known, about 130 students locked negotiators in Ballantine Hall for about three hours. The lock-in prompted a grand jury investigation as well as a rally to support the students involved. The two-day boycott extended to a nine-day boycott as students let administrators know how they felt about paying an additional $135.
